# Indigenous
This was the worst slaughter of Native Americans in U.S. history. Few remember it.

List of Indian massacres in North America. [Not to be confused with List of massacres in India.] In the history of the European colonization of the Americas, an Indian massacre is any incident between European settlers and indigenous peoples wherein one group killed a significant number of the other group outside the confines of mutual combat in war.

The story of the encounter between European settlers and America’s native population does not make for pleasant reading. Among early accounts, perhaps the most famous is Helen Hunt Jackson’s A Century of Dishonor (1888), a doleful recitation of forced removals, killings, and callous disregard. https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://historynewsnetwork.org/article/7302__;!!On18fmf1aQ!hGYnrwx2ddUflEDJ5LHNf8ZSdK4a1CkT9AT68fJV_XuThDWnBx235QNlyD-oofToYw4l$

Why cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women don’t receive national attention According to the Department of Justice, studies indicate the murder rate for Indigenous women is ten times higher than the national average.
Still, the cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women rarely garner attention across the U.S.

Mary Johnson, an Indigenous woman, went missing nearly a year ago. While the FBI recently offered a reward, activists say that’s not enough. It’s been nearly 10 months since Johnson was reported missing. A billboard on Interstate 5 and local media coverage have yielded few credible tips, and tribal police have yet to make an arrest in the case.

Photographer says Border Patrol agents didn’t whip Haitian migrants:
Paul Ratje told KTSM, an El Paso television station that he saw the migrants running and dodging around the horses agents were riding, and the agents were swinging their reins but weren’t targeting the migrants.
“He was swinging it, but I didn’t see him actually whip someone with it,” the photographer told the station. “That’s something that can be misconstrued when you’re looking at it.”

# Medical Recalls
FDA announced that Pfizer was voluntarily recalling all lots of Chantix 0.5mg and 1mg tablets. The drug recall is due to the presence of N-nitroso-varenicline. In large enough quantities, N-nitroso-varenicline can be a carcinogen. If this recall sounds at all familiar, it’s because Pfizer back in August issued a similar recall back in August. While that recall involved four lots, the latest recall is far more expansive.

Native American Advocates Push Back Against Attacks on Tribal Lenders:
Native Americans are taking a stand on behalf of tribal lenders amid an onslaught from special interest organizations attempting to push these local businesses that serve an often neglected community out of business.

Genuine tribal businesses are entitled to “tribal immunity,” meaning they can’t be sued. If a payday lender can shield itself with tribal immunity, it can keep making loans with illegally-high interest rates without being held accountable for breaking state usury laws.

There are zero studies that prove that 5G is safe for our health. During a federal Senate hearing, the representatives of the telecom industry also communicated that there were no future plans to conduct any independent 5G safety studies. Currently there is a federal case against the Federal Communications Commission charging that the safety standards that were tested for 1G are still being applied 24 years later to 5G without being updated.
